OwlCAD

OwlCAD is parametric CAD for 3D printing that runs in a web browser, with nothing to install. It sits between beginner tools people outgrow and professional CAD. The editor covers parametric solid modelling with booleans on the Manifold kernel, sketches with constraints, extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, fillets, chamfers, patterns and assemblies. Thirty-two generators produce gears, threads, fasteners and enclosures, and it runs OpenSCAD scripts. Clearance presets and checks for overhangs, thin walls and watertightness prepare parts for printing. Teams and schools get team workspaces, classroom management and school licensing with a pooled credit budget. Student accounts are pseudonymous, AI is teacher-only, and a signable district data agreement is available. Projects are private by default and every plan, free included, carries commercial rights. Imports STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP and OpenSCAD. Exports STL, 3MF, OBJ, GLB, STEP, DXF and SVG. A hosted MCP server lets AI agents build parts.

Railing Designer

Quote faster. Build with confidence. Your sales team shouldn't need a draftsperson to close a deal. Railing Designer encodes your products, pricing, and engineering rules into a browser-based tool they can drive, so quotes that took hours take minutes, and every design arrives at the shop floor ready to build. What changes when your engineering rules live in software instead of in heads and in spreadsheets, three things change: "Your sales team quotes without backup" Because your products, pricing, and building rules are encoded into the tool, your sales reps design and quote accurately without pulling in engineering. Shorter sales cycles. More deals handled by fewer people. "Errors stop before they start" Railing Designer won't let a user produce an invalid design. Every quote that leaves your team already meets your engineering standards. What used to get caught at the shop floor gets caught at the design stage. Or never happens at all. "Every output, instantly" As you design, Railing Designer generates your quote, parts list, and BOM in real time. No separate drawing step. No re-entry into another system. Everything your team needs to move from sale to build, ready when the design is done.
